THE BROOK. 
I come from haunts of coot and hem, 

I make a sudden sally, 
And sparkle out among the fern 

To bicker down a valley. 




By thirty hills I hurry down, 
Or slip between the ridges, 

By twenty thorps, a little town, 
And half a hundred bridges. 




Till last by Philip's farm I flow 
To join the brimming river; 

For men may come and men may go, 
But I go on for ever. 




I chatter over stony ways, 
In little sharps and trebles; 

I bubble into eddying bays, 
I babble on the pebbles. 




'^A^^' 



With many a curve my banks I fret, 
By many a field and fallow, 

And many a fairy foreland set 
With willow-weed and mallow. 



,M:. /,'*"!'■ 




I chatter, chatter, as 

To join the brimming river; 
For men may come and men may go, 

But I go on for ever. 



I wind about, and in and out, 
With here a blossom sailing, 

And here and there a lusty trout, 
And here and there a grayling, 




And here and there a foamy flake 

Upon me as I travel, 
With many a silvery waterbreak 

Above the golden gravel. 




And draw them all along, and flow 
To join the brimming river; 

For men may come and men may go. 
But I go on for ever. 



I steal by lawns and grassy plots, 
I slide by hazel covers ; 

I move the sweet forget-me-nots 
That grow for happy lovers. 




-^\^v! 







-i^'^^. 



I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance, 
Among my skimming swallows ; 

I make the netted sunbeam dance 
Against my sandy shallows. 








I murmur under moon and stars 
In brambly wildernesses ; 

I linger by my shingly bars ; 
I loiter round my cresses ; 



And out again I curve and flow 
To join the brimming river ; 

For men may come and men may go, 
But I go on for ever. 



BREAK, BREAK, BREAK. 

Break, break, break, 

On thy cold gray stones, O Sea! 
And I would that my tongue could utter 
/ The thoughts that arise in me. 




O well for the fisherman's boy 

That he shouts with his sister at play! 
O well for the sailor lad 

That he sings in his boat on the bay! 



And the stately ships go on 
To their haven under the hill; 

But O for the touch of a vanished hand, 
And the sound of a voice that is still! 




Wf^ 



Break, break, break. 

At the foot of thy crags, O Sea! 
But the tender grace of a day that is dead 

Will never come back to me. 




"^wr^~^i 



SWEET AND LOW. 
Sweet and low, sweet and low, 

Wind of the western sea, 
Low, low, breathe and blow, 

Wind of the western sea! 
Over the rolling waters go. 
Come from the dying moon, and blow, 
Blow him again to me ; 
While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps. 




Sleep and rest, sleep and rest, 
Father will come to thee soon; 

Rest, rest, on mother's breast, 
Father will come to thee soon: 




Father will come to his babe in the nest, 
Silver sails all out of the west 
Under the silver moon : 
Sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep. 




THE EAGLE. 

He clasps the crag with hooked hands; 
Close to the sun in lonely lands, 
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands. 

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; 
He watches from his mountain walls, 
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
